Just ok

Rooms are small and old. Nothing stood out that made the cost over the other hotels worth while.

I had three rooms and only one was bad but still for the price it should of been clean

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a great option for our family and our kids really enjoyed themselves. We loved the walkability to the Harvey House and the historic feel of the area. 10/10 would recommend.

Pictures outdated, not comfortable or clean.

Photos are not accurate. Hotel is worn down, our room was dirty, stains on the comforter, hair in the bed and bathroom, cracks on the walls and around a/c, you could feel the springs in the bed, never dusted, you could tell from the phone, remote & table. The pool was dirty and not heated as they indicated. It was our anniversary and I didn't want to complain, I really just wanted to go home. The only good thing I can say was the long island's from the hotel pub were good.

Not recommended

I cannot recommend this hotel for a family trip. Upon entering our room, it was evident that cleanliness was a major issue. There was a thick layer of dust throughout, including on the lamp and TV, and we found hairs on the pillow and inside the sheets. When I contacted the front desk, they offered to switch our room, but unfortunately, the new room was in equally unacceptable condition. I even spotted a pillow with blood stains while confirming details with the staff before moving our luggages. When I raised the issue of the blood-stained pillow, the staff handed it back to me and instructed me to leave it in the first room. This was completely inappropriate; it should have been their responsibility to remove it, and also not to put it back in the room. Throughout the night, the noise was unbearable. I was awakened by train horns 2-3 times and had to endure loud shouting and door slamming in the hallways. To make matters worse, the next morning at 10:20 AM, housekeeping knocked on our door while we were still in bed, despite check-out being at 11 AM. This felt like undue pressure to vacate. During check-out, the front desk clerk remarked that I was lucky housekeeping hadn’t knocked on my door at 8 AM because they had the right to do so. After a long day of driving, I expected a restful night, and this hotel failed to deliver on that front.
